Billy Ray Cyrus comes to Ridgewood to sign his new book

Billy Ray Cyrus, country-music singer and songwriter (and father of Miley), will be in our area to sign his new book, "Hillbilly Heart: A Memoir."

TELL ME MORE: In his book, due out Tuesday, Cyrus writes about his turbulent childhood in Kentucky, where he found refuge in music and sports after his parents divorced; his tireless early efforts to gain the attention of music executives from Nashville to Los Angeles; his breakout album "Some Gave All" (on which "Achy Breaky Heart" was a single); and his rise to become a multiplatinum-selling recording artist. He also writes about famous daughter Miley, who landed the Disney show "Hannah Montana," on which her real dad had a second-fiddle role as her pretend father.
